corepure64 is the 64-bit version of tinycore, you just need to install it.

If you already have the 32-bit version installed, it's a matter of copying the distribution files corepure64.gz and vmlinuz64 to the same place as core.gz and vmlinuz, adding a new boot entry to your boot loader and adding the boot code "tce=tce64" or similar to keep the extensions separate.

Note that, as mentioned, you can send a pm to the 32-bit php5 maintainer and request an update.

If you are thinking of giving up on TC, just get CorePure64 and install it the same as you did Tiny Core. Then install PHP the same as you looked for it in TinyCore. EasyPeasy.

I wish it were EasyPeasy. I have not installed TinyCore yet so I can't do the same with CorePure64.

I was able to pull down this[1] down and get it running since I use Vagrant and that is what I want to build, a custom Vagrant box. But the Packer script for that is pretty overwhelming at this point, and my goal would be to install a a LEMP stack + Redis on a TCL 7.0 base.

I was really hoping for some step-by-step tutorials like [2] but I guess nobody has written any for TCL? I will need something that specific to be able to get success because I am somewhat of a Linux newbie.
